Running The 2018 Grand Rapids Marathon for Clean Water

ByTim Nolte
This past Saturday I completed an 18 mile training run for the 2018 #GRMarathon in an effort to raise money for wells in Africa. Would you consider partnering with me? Donate Now – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne I’m about $350 away from hitting the $1000 mark, with another $1000 to go to hit my goal. Someone has stepped up to match all the money raised which means your gift will be doubled. #Run4Water #SierraLeone #Africa #CleanWater

An “Easy” 5 Mile Recovery Training Run

ByTim Nolte
Decided to hit some of what used to be a pretty regular route for me. I still tweaked it a bit though. Today was supposed to be an “easy” run but it was more of a “comfortable” run for me, basically if I was comfortable running a sub-8 minutes per mile then that is what I ran. Perhaps it could be considered a fartlek run I guess. However, with my typically inconsistent running pace ever run I do could be considered a fartlek run. Ha. I did also enjoy a shorter run listening to a worship music running set. I wish there were more of those with some more recent music. I spent some time thinking about my former ministry cohort John Martinson and his…

Foggy Extended Run, Reminder, Don’t Forget The Nip Guards

ByTim Nolte
It wasn’t a rainy morning but it sure was foggy. It was still good weather for a run. However, note to self, always wear nip guards on longer runs. I enjoy having the extended runs during the week as it gives me more quiet time. Getting enough sleep is the biggest problem though with the longer runs. I know that I’d probably do better with my runs if I generally got more sleep. I spent some time reflecting on my trip to Sierra Leone during my prayer time. That also prompted me to lift of the #HWI team as we continue to raise support for more wells in Africa. #GRMarathon #Run4Water #WhyIRun #WaterIsLife Give Water, Give Life – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

Beating The Urge To Go Back To Bed

ByTim Nolte
A little windy this morning but it made for a nice cool run. I didn’t feel like I slept very well so it was hard to get going this morning. The thought crossed my mind a couple of times to just skip the run today and go back to bed. I couldn’t get myself to do that though. I know that once I actually get moving things turn around. Also, it’s the best time for me to get one-on-one with God with little distraction. It’s hard to believe that the #GRMarathon is only like 6 weeks away. I still have some fundraising to do for #HWI and I’d really like to get to $2000 but that will be a big challenge for sure. #Run4Water Hudsonville,…
